confused

[Discomposure]

Is anyone confused as to why you self harm?
Like for me, I know why I started doing it, but then the problems got a bit better, but I still self-harm, and feel really awful all the time. I really don't understand why i'm feeling so down, when I spoke to a psychiatrist, i really couldn't tell him what makes me feel down at the moment! Is anyone else like this or know why I'm like this?

Well you most likely would still be doing it due to the fact that is an addiction, and although you might not want to admit it, you are most likely addicted.
This could be the cause of it. The fact that your problems are supposedly getting better could mean that the stress level is lower because of your self harm and therefore you are not seeing them as posing such a large threat as before. This might be the case.
If you honestly cant think of a reason, then that should be a decent enough thought to help you stop if you cant see any reason as to why you should do it, Therefore the reasons against it will definitely outweigh the reasons for it as you have none.

Thanks Aaron. I see what you mean, just for some reason, I sometimes don't want to stop! I'm wierd I know. I think some of the reason could be that I don't like myself..

I understand that you could feel that way. Heck loads of people who are trying to stop feel that way sometimes, but you need to be strong and beat those moments, and keep on beating the urges so that you can finally beat the addiction! :)

I never realised befor as to why i do it but the other night my parents were fighting and i just cut, i then realised that it stoped me feeling any emotion, sort of relaxed in a way so i just went to sleep. Also when i do self harm i dont cry im not sad but im not like happer either. I now think that it nutrilises me out :) x

yeah I get it. sometimes you don't cut to help with anything specific, just to numb the pain. i get it sometimes

yeah that blank feeling was what I was like, I try not to cut when I'm actually upset or angry but usually after once I've calmed down, I always found I didn't feel anything I could hardly feel the blade but some how it just made everything seem so much easier.
